Numeracy

Data shows Australia’s declining performance on international student assessments is reflected in all of its school sectors.

A new book co-edited by ACER Principal Research Fellow Dr Hilary Hollingsworth explores the language used in mathematics classrooms around the world.

ACER is supporting an online tutoring program that aims to improve learning for some of Australia’s disadvantaged students.

How can we design and teach mathematics curricula in ways that more meaningfully connect with students’ current and future lives?

A team of Australian school students has received the second highest honour in the 2021 International Mathematical Modeling Challenge (IM²C), contested by 51 teams from 27 different countries.

ACER experts say Australia must increase its adult literacy and numeracy workforce, and implement a range of workplace, community and family literacy programs.
